Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas
A simple and delicious cheesy chicken quesadilla that combines tender chicken with melted cheese inside a crispy tortilla. Perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 1/2 cup cooked, shredded chicken (seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- Optional: diced onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, or any preferred vegetables
- Olive oil or butter for frying
- Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for serving
Instructions
- If using, sauté any vegetables (like onions and bell peppers) in a small pan until they are soft. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the cooked vegetables (if used) and half of the cheese.
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the chicken and cheese mixture on one half of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling to form a semi-circle.
- Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the folded tortilla in the pan.
- Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it sit for a minute before cutting into wedges.
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.
Note
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
- Add-ins like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms can enhance flavor and nutrition.
